Post-production
Sound Factory offers a full audio post-production service, where technical expertise and artistic vision converge to elevate sound to its fullest potential. Through a suite of tasks including dialogue editing, re-recording, mixing, and the integration of sound design, we meticulously craft immersive sonic experiences that enhance the storytelling and emotional impact of our clients’ projects.
Sound design
Our bespoke sound design empowers filmmakers to unleash their creativity, shape the auditory landscape of their films according to their vision, and deliver truly immersive cinematic experiences that resonate with audiences on a deeper level. While stock subscription sound libraries have their place, investing in custom sound design can elevate a film to new heights of artistic expression and storytelling.
Tailored to the Story:
Every film has its own unique story, characters, and atmosphere. Bespoke sound design allows filmmakers to create audio elements that are specifically crafted to complement and enhance the narrative. We work closely with directors to understand the vision of the film and create custom sounds that resonate with the themes, emotions, and moods portrayed on screen.
Distinctive Identity:
Sound design sets a film apart from others by giving it a distinctive sonic identity. Instead of relying on generic sound effects that may be used in multiple films, custom-designed sounds can help establish a signature audio style that becomes synonymous with the film and enhances its memorability.
Seamless Integration:
Custom sound design offers filmmakers greater control and flexibility in integrating audio elements seamlessly into their projects. We fine-tune each sound to match the visuals and timing of the film, ensuring that the audio enhances the storytelling without distracting the audience. This level of precision is often challenging to achieve with pre-existing stock sounds.
Creative Collaboration:
Collaborating with us on bespoke sound design allows filmmakers to explore creative ideas and experiment with unconventional approaches to audio. We bring our expertise and artistic sensibilities to the table, offering fresh perspectives and innovative solutions to elevate the film’s audio to new heights.
Quality and Authenticity:
Our custom-designed sounds are recorded, edited, and processed using high-end equipment and techniques, resulting in richer, more organic, and immersive audio experiences for the audience.

Dolby ATMOS Music
Dolby Atmos is a revolutionary audio technology that offers an immersive audio experience by creating a three-dimensional sound field. While it’s often associated with movies and home theater systems, its application in the music industry is increasingly gaining traction, especially with streaming platforms like Tidal and Amazon Music embracing it.
Atmos presents exciting opportunities for artists and producers to push the boundaries of audio production, deliver unparalleled listening experiences, and differentiate themselves in a competitive industry. By embracing this technology, you can unlock new creative possibilities and connect with your audience in deeper and more meaningful ways.
Immersive Listening Experience:
Atmos allows listeners to experience music in a more immersive way, creating a sense of space and depth that traditional stereo or surround sound formats can’t match. This can enhance the emotional impact of your music and captivate your audience in new ways.
Creative Freedom:
Dolby Atmos provides artists and producers with a new canvas for creativity. With its object-based audio technology, you can precisely place and move individual sounds in a 3D space. This opens up endless possibilities for creating unique sonic landscapes and experimenting with spatial effects that can elevate your music production to new heights.
Stand Out in the Market:
As Dolby Atmos becomes more widely adopted, releasing music in this format can help you stand out in a crowded market. It signals to your audience that you’re committed to delivering a premium listening experience and staying at the forefront of audio innovation. This can be especially appealing to audiophiles and early adopters who are always seeking the latest advancements in sound technology.
Compatibility with Streaming Platforms:
Major streaming platforms like Tidal and Amazon Music now support Dolby Atmos music playback, making it easier for you to distribute your music in this format to a wide audience. By leveraging these platforms, you can reach listeners who are actively seeking out high-quality audio experiences and expand your fan base.
Future-Proofing Your Catalog:
Investing in Dolby Atmos production now can future-proof your catalog. As more consumers upgrade their audio systems to support immersive formats like Dolby Atmos, your music will already be available in a format that takes full advantage of these advancements. This positions you ahead of the curve and ensures that your music remains relevant and compelling for years to come.
